Heidi Klums Halloween Bash at Tao!
The IT party of the year, takes place this year for her 15th annual Halloween bash. We’re sure Klum is thinking of a detailed costume – having hired an Oscar-winning prosthetic make-up team to transform her into an old lady last year. Wowwy!

If tickets are sold out or you’re not in a clubby-mood, create your own bar crawl! With many bars offering fun Halloween cocktail specials and concoctions, the scary-good new cocktails will be more of a treat than a trick to those looking to get a little boozy this Friday. You can start by heading to Saxon + Parole’s where their award-winning bar team, overseen by Eben Freeman will be serving up a specialty cocktail this Halloween: Zombie. The Zombie is a twist on a classic tiki cocktail combining Brugal extra dry rum, Wray & Nephew overproof rum, house made pumpkin seed cordial, red beet grenadine and lime juice and is available on Halloween night for $12.

After having the Zombie, head next door to Madam Geneva for their All Hallows Eve party featuring mad scientist bartenders (ready to mix you a drink or two), haunting beats from DJ Devon, and a Spiced Pumpkin Punch complete with dry ice made with Beefeater 24, Zubrowka, fresh pumpkin, maple sugar and lemon juice served out of carved out pumpkin. Admission is free and a cup of Spiced Pumpkin Punch will run you $7.

Down the street at The Daily, the special daily cocktail menu will feature a line-up of spooky creations including: The Devil’s Own: Bottled for 2 cocktail with gin, Combier, dry vermouth and bitters. Death In The Afternoon: an aperitif of absinthe and sparkling wine. Widow’s Kiss: served over a rock with Applejack, Benedictine, Chartreuse, Oogie Boogie: sparkly goodness with vodka, creme de cassis, lemon and sparkling wine or Smoking Bishop: The Daily’s house made version of mulled wine, served warm.

Calexico, the Cali-style Mexican cult-favorite with restaurants and carts in Manhattan and Brooklyn, has tons of locations in LES, Park Slope and Greenpoint to offer many hotspots to enjoy $5 house margaritas all day on Halloween, with each location celebrating with additional, different food & drink specials and giveaways all weekend.
